There was a fair business and mlllers
seemed 10 show little more disposition TO
examine samples, though holding off during
the first hour. Sellers were asking shade
above the figures of the day before, but did
not always succeed in getting the advance.
The display on the sample tables was below
the average in quantity but good in quality.
Receipts were 42S cars and shipments.
Duluth reported POI ears. and that market
did not respond freely TO the advance at
other points. Following are the closing

Flour-The Market Record says: Trade
was moderately brisk to-day. with orders ac
cepted about as fast as the product is turned
out at the current range of quotations. The
break in prices of wheat during the fore part
of the week set back orders to some extent,
but as -four had not moved SO rapidly as
wheat it did not decline with the latter.
There are no new contracts TO speak of being
made for -four TO go abroad. Foreigners as
rule have not been believers in permanent
advance yet, and have been more disposed to
speculate on the future by selling wheat short
over here than in paying advanced rates for
flour. Patents, sacks to local dealers, 81 25@
